What is Fresh Cream? Where to buy Fresh Cream?
- Fresh Cream is a dairy product, containing 18 – 25% fat from milk. This type of cream has a thick, rich texture and is commonly used to make desserts like ice cream or to add a creamy, rich consistency to soups, curries, or it can simply be enjoyed with fruits.
- Due to its relatively low fat content, Fresh Cream is not used for whipping to make the frosting for cakes like whipping cream. Since the texture of this cream is softer when whipped compared to other types of cream, it is very suitable for making delicious soft ice cream.
- You can buy Fresh Cream at stores that sell baking ingredients, import shops, or large supermarkets. Avoid purchasing Fresh Cream through online orders because the cream may spoil easily if not stored at the right temperature during shipping.

How to make Pineapple Milk Ice Cream

Prepare the pineapple
When you buy the pineapple, do not peel it right away. First, cut off the crown at the top of the pineapple, then cut it in half lengthwise.
Next, score the hard flesh on both sides of the pineapple in a “V” shape and remove this core.
After that, continue to cut the two halves of the pineapple into quarters, and for each piece, slice down the middle of the flesh and then cut across into small chunks, creating a pattern similar to a checkerboard.
At this point, gently run a knife along the flesh next to the skin and carefully cut the flesh away from the skin to finish.
With this special peeling method, you won’t have to spend time peeling the skin and removing the eyes of the pineapple!
-
Blend and cook the pineapple
After preparing the pineapple, keep 1 cup of the whole pineapple pieces, and blend the remaining part with a blender.
Add the blended pineapple to a pan along with 6 tablespoons of sugar, then cook the pineapple over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, the mixture boils, and thickens slightly, then turn off the heat and let it cool in a bowl.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Pineapples
- Good, fresh pineapples will not be too hard or too soft; pressing your finger into it will not create a dent.
- Choose pineapples with large, sparse eyes; the greener the crown of the pineapple, the fresher and tastier it is.
- A ripe pineapple will have a very fragrant smell. Pineapples with dry crowns or turning brown or having a slightly sour fermented smell are overripe and should not be bought.
- Do not choose those with little or no smell as they are not ripe yet.
- You can also buy pre-peeled pineapples at traditional markets or large supermarkets.
